We have it on good authority that George (Easter) Basket is reducing a student at the same boarding club says George told the handy that if he was becoming too large and that he had discovered that the bottom button on his jacket refused to button and his trousers were uncomfortably tight, so he chose a diet. For breakfast he cuts only a sandwich from the cup of coffee and a sandwich make up the luncheon menu. In the evening he has another cup of coffee and a sandwich. For between-meal snacks, he has coffee and a sandwich—we now eat the sandwich more 'dunk the sandwich for variety.'

store and that the women had not had a voice in framing the resolution.
In substance, the resolution submitted by the M.S.C. recommends the establishment of a co-operative book store which is to be financed and operated by the Union Operating committee.
Limited Decrees Decision Vague
Ruth Learned, Carried, c. 37, president of the women's council, in a statement to the Daily Kaman report, said of the resolution, "It is so vague in its wording that women with wife to agree to it."
A copy of the resolution was not available.
According to Miss Learned, the women of the University have considerable at stake in the co-operative book store venture. The setting up of such an organization would mean giving up the present W.S.G.A. book exchange with a valuation of several thousands of dollars.
"The women have something to give up. The men haven't." It is only right that we have some voices in this venture," the women's preside-decency
'W.S.G.A. Has No Politics'
"We have no politics. We can operate for the assistant good. We're willing to give up our bookstore provided we know that in its place will set up a real co-operative run of all the students, she continued.
"The W.S.G.A. believes," Miss Learned said, "that M.S.C. measures on the amount of money necessary to finance a venture." We cannot afford to risk our already-established store on a venture which might require many years to pay off the principal and interest on the loan necessary to float
"We will be amenable to any reasonable plan proposed provided it requires a real co-operative and is not too expensive," she said.
Phillips Denies Charges
In a statement after the meeting, John Philip, C37, M.S.C. president, vehemently denied all of Miss Learned's charges, and especially that of any numpuration of power on the part of the Men's Student Council.
"The resolution has been submitted only to the M.S.C. and then to the W.S.G.A for their approval. Miss Learned was at the meeting of the joint Council committee on the cooperative book store when it was unanimously decided that the only feasible plan for financing a co-operative book store was through the Union Operating Committee that managed the way of approaching the Operating committee was through a joint resolution of both councils."
Explain the "vague" wording of the resolution, Philips declared. "It was determined at this meeting that the only thing that was to be put into place was to develop the methods assuring co-operative dividends to the students. We were unanimous in the decision that we would be unwite to bind the Operating committee with instructions that we be unmanageable at a future date.
Committee Authorized Store.
"The joint committee of the two councils, of which Miss Learned is a member," Phillips continued, "authorized the Union Operating committee to organize a book store from which all profits over and above operating expenses shall be returned to the students in the form of dividends based on the amount of the individuals" "purchases."
Commenting on Miss Learned's declaration that M.S.C. estimates on the amount of money necessary to establish a co-operative book store, she said, "The estimates were those of Professor Jennings, member of the commit-
